Video 1. WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) –Would you trust a computer to diagnose your medical problem? What if it were a supercomputer that beat out the Jeopardy superstar Ken Jennings? Although IBM’s supercomputer Watson may not completely replace a doctor’s diagnosis, it will soon be helping some of them diagnose and choose among treatment options and medicines. Experts say this will help give patients confidence in their doctor’s decisions. Watson will be combined with WellPoint Inc., which has 34.2 million members, this year, integrating Watson’s lightning speed and deep health care database into its existing patient information. The WellPoint application will combine data from three sources: a patient’s chart and electronic records that a doctor or hospital has, the insurance company’s history of medicines and treatments, and Watson’s huge library of textbooks and medical journals.
Video 2. BAE Systems, a defense company, recently developed a ‘cloak’ — literally, a covering of panels — that reduces visibility of tanks in the infra-red spectrum.
Video 3. 50 new planets have been discovered, one could potentially support life.
Video 4. If you ever wished you had a new face but didn’t want to undergo invasive plastic surgery, there’s an easier way.
As reported by New Scientist, an augmented reality mirror will change the way you look by subtly altering your features. Watch it work here:
